Spectre

Spectre...the new James Bond movie is one I really liked. Not always a big fan of the endless action and car chases...this had all that but more character development.

Will see it next Tuesday,  $5 day. The Bulkow 105 helicopter that does the roll can be rolled according to heli pilots who have flown it.  I have one in my R/C simulator that runs on the computer and I have tried rolling it.....successfully.....but it must be done at a high enough altitude because it doesn't have negative collective pitch on the main rotor and falls like a rock when upside down. Not an important consideration for most of us but something to keep in mind if you ever roll one.

Saw it today, one of the better ones but had a "watered down" feel to it vis-a-vis Bond's relation to the latest "Bond girl"....different than the "old days".  But in the end he gets his reconstructed  DB-5 back so all's well that ends well.

Wow ! I just found this site. It will certainly save me a lot of time looking up registration #s of aircraft in movies.

They also determined that the OE-FZO reg. # is false, took me ~15 min. to decide that also. The Britten-Norman Islander isn't a common aircraft in the U.S.

The reg . # on the helicopter that Blofeld crashes in at the end, G-LCPL , also seems to be false. Nothing turns up on the British reg. site.

Here's a useful page that tells how to identify aircraft in movies. Everyone should save this...

Then I went to the 'unidentified aircraft' section and while scrolling down I see that Emile was in a miniseries in 2013, "Air Force One is Down".  I never heard of it...

You never know what you'll learn from these searches....

Pretty good movie but the ending seemed weak and un-Bond like.

True, but it looked like they were setting it up for a sequel, not that they need to......$$$$
